Kudos to all involved in the quest--DMs and players. It was a good blend of veterans and relatively new players. The RP, for the most part, was really well done. I especially liked the idea someone came up with to drop flaming oil bombs on top of the gnolls as they tried to climb the stairs to the watchtower. Too bad we didn't get to use it. We almost dropped it on the tower's reinforcements when they finally showed up! And I liked the idea of preparing for a skirmish and waiting for Talan's order of "CHARGE!" where upon the fighter types rushed to engage the enemy. A nice break from drawing the enemies toward the group.
And I've never seen gnolls dropping off the back of griffons before. Great idea!
I had a really fun time last night, even though I was struck down--again! Can't wait for the next installment.
Well done everyone!
